Movie star Michelle Pfeiffer is Texan Mumma "Claire Clauster " in "Oh. What Fun." (2025).

That's not a typo that is how the movie's title is written on Prime.

See how funny this heartwarming, humorous, fun, festive, comedy Christmas film is already?

Her surname is like Mrs Claus, except she doesn't live at the North Pole.

In fact, this most relatable, humble, modest mum is a wealthy middle class wife living in a McMansion with an Infinity in the driveway in American suburbia.

Very down to earth and relatable.

Q: If every car in the USA was red what would you call the place?

A: A red car nation!

Christmas crackers aren't they fun too with their gags and hats?

I agree with "Claire's" opening monologue/narration in this Christmas cracker of a movie that most holiday movies are about men as the heroes and saviours of this merry time of the year.

"Planes, Trains and Automobiles" really gets singled out.

Shame because it's one of my favourite John Candy or Steve Martin holiday flicks, but I get her point it's not moot.

Honestly I hadn't stopped to think about it before, but gosh darn she's right.

Luckily this movie, directed by another of us damn males, Michael Showalter, is here to start balancing the ledger.

"Claire" is the glue that holds her chaotic, not so loveable family together that includes: comedian Denis Leary, Dominic Sessa, Chloe Grace Moretz, Felicity Jones and outlaw Jason Schwartzman.

Joan Chen is the matriarch of the token crazy rich Asian neighbours who disapprove of inflatable Xmas lawn decorations.

This is 108 minutes of M rated Christmas gone off-script.

Believe it or not this film is #1 in Australia on Prime.

I think it only got the M rating because "Claire" drops an F bomb just once on a live TV show hosted by Eva Longoria as "Zazzy Tims".

Listen out for: songs from "the bird and the bee" in the soundtrack.

The moral of this movie is please remember 3 little words that mean so much to mums all over the world during the most wonderful time of the year, "Can I Help?"

May your hearts be full at Xmas, even if your stockings aren't loaded with decent streaming content.

Honestly it's not a movie that lives up to its title and potential with this amazing cast featuring 3 Oscar nominees, unless the makers are being ironic.

Get ready to rock at "Five Nights At Freddy's 2" with a bunch more animatronics and a bunch more lore.

There's a lot more jump scares and set pieces, plus they go a little bit deeper into the relationship of "Vanessa" (Elizabeth Lail) and her monstrous father "William Afron" (Matthew Lillard).

This sequel opens in 1982 and goes a little deeper, a little darker, a little scarier, but still there's plenty to laugh about on the nightmare journey that then leaps forward 20 years to pick up where the original left off in 2023 with the locals celebrating Fazfest in honour of Fazbear.

In this new movie we are taken inside the very first Freddy's Pizzeria complete with a creepy river ride in the restaurant before they franchised smaller less detailed outlets.

A tragic accident closes Freddy's and a young girl loses her life only to haunt the base restaurant.

"Abby" (Piper Rubio) now 11 and "Mike" (Josh Hutcherson) sibling relationship is further tested in part 2.

McKenna Grace as "Lisa" is new to the cast, but no stranger to the horror genre ("Scream 7", "Malignant", "Annabelle Comes Home").

Somehow the director convinced Megan Fox to voice "Toy Chica" in this sequel.

For fans of "Cupcake" you'll be disappointed to hear that animatronic did not make it to the second movie.

Watch out for: The poor man's Johnny Depp, Skeet Ulrich "Henry" ("Scream" reunited with Lillard) at 55 now!

And beware the Prototypes once used as spares like a certain member of the royal family.

Prince Harry I'm looking at you.

Wayne Knight is the school science teacher "Mr. Berg" who deserved to die in Jurassic Park and in "Five Nights At Freddy's 2"...."Newman"!

Hardcore fans of the video game will love what they've done with the place.

"Five Nights At Freddy's 2" is rated M so I personally wouldn't take a young child to this sustained threat and violent movie, unlike some parents.

Good luck with the nightmares your offspring will experience.

Expect a third film to complete this fascinating trilogy.

Totally expected an HBO Daytime or Hallmark Movie, which this partly is, but it does have some saving graces.

In "Tinsel Town" (2025) on Prime, washed-up Hollywood action hero "Bradley Apollo McDonald" or "Brad Mac" (Keifer Sutherland) takes a role in a small English village's quirky Christmas pantomime of "Cinderella", where he finds unexpected inspiration through the show's straight-talking dance instructor, "Jillian" or "Jill" (Rebel Wilson).

Rebel will not win "Dancing With The Stars" anytime soon with her grace of a baby Hippo, so why cast her as the Choreographer?

Keifer on the other hand is light on his feet and can actually sing too!

Who knew?

Sutherland has fun with tongue firmly planted in his cheeky grin in this send up of his "24" TV series.

It's made by Brainstorm Media, but honestly there wasn't much brainstorming involved in this flicks creation...maybe long, liquid lunches, but not brainstorming.

This movie will destroy a few brain cells if anything with it's predictable script and low grade acting.

Still it has heart, you might need some tissues and one scene stealing moment from the legendary Derek Jacobi as "Albert".

"Tinsel Town" was filmed in various Yorkshire locations that make you want to fly to London for the Festive Season.

If you don't know what a Panto is you will after 94 minutes of this Christmas Cracker.

Add it to your Christmas Comedy Movie list for fits and giggles.
